Words I never thought I would see on this board.

Hoop Explorer has a preseason projection tool at the player level:

Lots of assumptions (Taine 30 mins wooo) and missing players (CBliss, ARob, Sharma), but I think you can actually manually add in a player that you set the plus-minus values for. I like the balanced/optimistic/pessimistic projections.

Those are maddening … 48 seconds total - first 15 seconds and last 8 seconds are literally nothing and half of the rest is slow motion … totally unserious editing.

The Taine Train is surprisingly well-booked relative to my expectations.

Correct me if I’m wrong sandy but if we redshirt all the 50 year olds won’t they be too old to play the next year?

I responded how I think the starting lineup will be…not should be.

I had IMac, Warley, BB, Taine & Power.

I’d probably swap Taine with Gertrude though.

May 7, 2024 starting line up:

  1. Warley 2. iMac 3. Gertrude 4. Power 5. BB

What TB will likely do imo (at least to start):

  1. Warley 2. iMac 3. Taine 4. Saunders 5. BB

I definitely agree starting Taine in game one would be very Tony (and not at all bad, I’m a Tainer). But I don’t see how Power comes off the bench.

Here’s a little clarity that our NIL Tournament participation wouldn’t be until 2025-26 (if it happens):

Alabama, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State and Texas A&M are all on board, sources said. The eighth and final school for the 2024 event will emerge from a small group that is still being deliberated. The Players Era Festival is not being pitched as a one-year happening, either. Plans are to double the size of the field, sources told CBS Sports, with 16 teams as the target for 2025 and beyond. Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Michigan, Syracuse and Virginia have all engaged in discussions about potentially playing in 2025. If they opt in, they’d be joined by most (if not eventually all) of the schools playing in 2024, many of which have already signed up for a three-year agreement, according to sources.

I went to Basic Training at Fort Knox, Ky. just a few months after they filmed the Basic Training portions of Stripes there. All of my Company Drill Sergeants are extras in the movie. It’s like a trip down memory lane. Hair cut at the same barber shop, same WWII era barracks, firing range, obstacle course, etc. etc.

No female MPs though.

Last year non-con schedule released 7/10 and conference 9/26. Can’t wait to see them. I know many of the opponents are known.
